![]() I thought goldy was getting a new head. They got it right with the bigger torso but it makes the head look even smaller...and then next to punks massive head it doesn't look right at all. I'm bummed because the goldy figure is awesome otherwise. ![]() edit: trying to embed a pic but flikr is screwing me over |

Dust looks like he has the same torso as before, which was inaccurate then and even more inaccurate now.

Honestly Pillman/Macho's torso should've been used on this one. |

Why would a guy have abs on the outside of his shirt? Anything to bulk him up. He isn't as thin as D-bry and while they don't share the same torso Dust's is about as wide and as thick as D-Bry when Dust is pretty big, not as big as HHH but absolutely bigger then D-Bry  |

Obviously a new torso wasn't in the budget with Rowan & Harper in the set, so the only shirted torso they have is the right choice. |

Obviously a new torso wasn't in the budget with Rowan & Harper in the set, so the only shirted torso they have is the right choice. Saying the right torso for dust is also the only one is like saying Ryback's torso is accurate since it's the only singlet torso that's not bret sized or Big Show sized. So the conclusion I've come to is the torso is the most accurate out of the parts they have but isn't really accurate when you compare it to real life. |

In an ideal world, he'd have a new torso. But a slightly small shirt torso beats having his shirt painted onto a torso with six pack abs - something he doesn't have in real life even if he took the shirt off. Remember, these are always "idealized" versions of characters. |

Punks head does look a little... out of place. Goldust seems fine though. |

I think they both look really good. Not saying people aren't allowed to have their opinions or make observations, but a lot of this sounds nit-picky to me.

If that pic proves anything its that Goldust is WAY too short.
And while the torso doesn't work as well as I would like. Goldie has only trimmed down since his last Elite so I dont mind it. No way should he and Punk be the same height though. That is bad.
